My Journey

" It is not death a person should fear, but she should fear never beginning to live."

Marcus Aurelius

My Story

I was born into a small and tight-knit family where philosophy, psychology and religion were discussed at every dinner table. We went to the library and not surfing. Neither did anyone in my super small family – I am an only child – dive into the magic of physical movement, to put it diplomatically. But I was lucky enough to find incredible, thirst-quenching teachers in philosophy (Urs Schällibaum) and Judaism (Rabbi Michael Goldberg). 
 
Studying law took me out of my comfort zone. It was a great exercise that taught me one or two things about how the world works from a different perspective, and the skill of public speaking, how to get comfortable addressing a larger audience. 
 
Following my graduation, my boyfriend asked me to join him for an adventure of a few years in Hong Kong. I knew I wouldn’t pursue a legal career, and had a great opportunity to work as a journalist and editor for a Swiss newspaper from Asia. I also worked for a family office and received a taste of big finance. 
 
What really changed my professional course was meeting Patrick Creelman and Rinat Perlman, two wonderful yoga teachers who taught me a version of the old tradition that helped me bridge my background with a strong physical practice that focuses on form and embodies transformation. A spiritual practice, but deeply practical. Healing on all levels. 
 
The transformation to motherhood was another life-changing experience. I took a prenatal, postnatal and birth preparation teacher training (Jeane Byrne and Michelle Papa), and I teach workshops on the process of becoming a parent, one of the greatest joys of my profession. 
 
I continued my studies with Patrick, the brilliant Rinat Perlman, and last but not least Elena Brower, the teacher that inspired me most on all things off the mat, such as caring for and valuing myself. 

Today it is a great privilege and joy to teach groups, individuals, couples and events on the wisdom of the body-mind connection.

Big events

I have taught many big events for lululemon, wanderlust, various yoga festivals and other occasions, such as weddings and belly blessings and bridal parties. There is a special and beautiful atmosphere to practice in a bigger group.

My Mission

It is my great joy and passion to bring together ways of thinking and ideas for a better and grander life. That does not always mean that it looks like that on the outside. But that we ourselves feel satisfied and can courageously build and enjoy our own path. Moments of hardship and challenge are part of every journey, so we need to find ways to lead ourselves through them. This takes introspection, inspiration and willingness. All three of them I intend to help you with.
